The take

written by hand

New team, and I'm projecting him as the lead back on it: 17.2 carries a game at his own 4.28 a carry. That is a bet on role, not on efficiency.

Why this ranking

hand-set 2026-09-03

Workload set to a lead-back 17.5 carries / 3.4 targets at his own efficiency (4.28 ypc, 0.823 catch rate), giving 198.3 -- level with ECR RB11 and ADP Re-read 3 Sep: carries VERIFY at 17.82 against the stated 17.5, but TARGETS have drifted to 2.98 against the stated 3.4, about 12% under. The workload spec was the claim and its larger half holds; recorded rather than re-priced, since 0.4 targets a game is inside what a rebuild moves.

This is a view, not a correction — the model said something different and was overruled. See how it works.
